Annette Kirby, Who is 1075 (ANIMAL 2025)

I recently visited Japan and saw the endangered Red Crown Cranes. In 1924 there were just 12 of these magnificent cranes left in the world. Now due to conservation efforts, the population has increased to over just over 1000 in Japan. Here is crane 1075. A stunning elegant bird.
